A typical day in my life includes…
my family, music, coworkers, music, cameras, music, guitars, music my truck, dogs and some more… music.
I was born…
in Tarzana, California. However, I was raised in Las Vegas and have lived in Arizona for more than 15 years.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
I have a few favorite things when it comes to Arizona, starting with the sunrise, which is almost as awesome as our Arizona sunsets. Next on my list would be the D-backs and Arizona Cardinals. I love Chompie’s and Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles. Arizona has so many different climates and landscapes all within a few hours of each other, making it a great destination for people in the film industry. We have a pretty good music scene and I think I mentioned it before, but I like music. 😊
I’m listening to…
Ozomatli, currently, but I’m usually listening to Stick Figure, The Movement, Iya Terra or Slightly Stoopid.
My family…
is amazing. I admire my parents, my wife, kids and pups.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my Nana, I miss her.
One thing I cannot live without…
would be my family and, the second, would be live music.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
so many things, but a wrestler is what really stands out. I also wanted to be a voice actor.
I’m inspired by…
positivity. I appreciate when folks can find their glass is half full instead of half empty.
The one person who motivates me is…
my wife, Corrie. I always want to be my best self for her. We are going on our 10th year of marriage and I’m still trying to impress her.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
ignorance and racism. I believe everyone should be treated the same. Really, they should.
The perfect day would be…
a family vacation on the beach, followed by an awesome dinner with Corrie and then seeing one of my favorite bands!
My first job was…
as a lot porter at Falconi’s Acura of Las Vegas.
My favorite escape…
is going camping and heading out for an adventure in our trailer.
My life…
is pretty awesome. I feel very blessed to have a great job at SNEAKY BIG Studios and to be back in Arizona (I had a short stint in Northern California).
I’m currently working on…
creating more content that will make an impact in our industry. I’m trying to help others bring their visions to life.
Always…
lend a hand, be respectful and eat your peas and carrots.
Never…
be a jerk, disrespectful or assumptive.
Favorite Quote…
I recently went to a Less Than Jake concert, one of my favorite bands, and this is an excerpt from the beginning of their song, “All My Best Friends are Metalheads.” The quote is originally from “An Open Letter to My Teenage Son.”
“This is a fair request and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager, but you will constantly remind yourselves that some of my generation judges people by their race, their belief or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers.”
Biggest Dream…
is to be successful, doing what I love.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
1. Chewing with your mouth open.
2. When people hesitate to tell you something, then you have to prod them to get the rest of the story.
3. Lazy people.
